Wow, jackhammer! I didn't know the whole Social Darwinism explanation for why men like to stand up when they pee and women go to the bathroom in groups!

I thought maybe men like to stand up to pee so that they will urinate all over the bathroom, get kicked out of the cave, and then have more of an excuse to go "sow their seeds" and spread their "selfish genes" elsewhere.

Why, thank you, glastonelle.

Well, legs do feel silky after shaving (except at the little bloody parts where the toilet paper sticks), agreed...but the prickles that grow back so soon! Ugh! I remember after I stopped shaving the discomfort of having to get through the "prickly" phase (where you can't touch your legs together at night because they prickle) until my hair finally grew in all the way and I got to the "silky hair" phase. Once I got there, they felt fine.

High-heeled shoes...I admit, I think they look sexy (GAA! The culture has gotten to me)...but they are horrible for feet. They should have tags that say, "Wear With Caution."

Friends series 3 reference? *maybe not series 3, my memory has faded somewhat.*

Only women in Friends can have multiple orgasms?

TheCunningStunt

No, but Ross said "and of course... multiple orgasms" when the group were arguing over which gender had it best. The guys said girls had the best gender. So I think it was a Friends reference.

Or a reality reference, in terms of orgasms...

But anyway, I don't think multiple orgasms are really an end-all-be-all in gender sexual advantage...
I'd much rather be a guy because regardless of whether we have a headache, a long day at work, a negative self-image, distractions, boredom of partner, bad mood, or etc... Us guys can still get turned on at moment's notice and have a damn good O, recharge for about 20 minutes and do it all over again between sandwich breaks.
No maintenance required.

To me, multiple orgasms may be a pocket pair, but are at the mercy of too many factors for it to be a solid win in every play.

It's so much more simple for us guys.

Not necessarily, didn't even think of Friends when I said it. But now that you bring it up, I think its season 2. A Joey quote? Or was it Ross?

I voted No but I think I should have voted 'Not sure.' Because there are things I like about being a girl, but then again I've first handedly experienced unpleasantries in life because of my gender which sucks. But both genders would have these issues so it's hard to say.

But mainly I don't like the fact that I'm the one who has to have babies. Fucking ow.

I find it rather discomforting that while the majority of people who voted yes are male, everyone who voted no is female. Do most women really feel that way about themselves?

Damn that sucks, if ya'll had your way there wouldn't be a lot of girls left.

Okay, let me disclaimer this: I am a kind of slutty, average looking girl.

I hate being a girl. Even as I type this, I reconsider, freaking out a little. About 2/3 of MB regulars assume I'm the default (dude), which is the way I prefer it. I wish I was a dude so freaking much it hurts.

I'm not that much of a lesbian and I guess having a vagina is okay. The period thing is kind of terrible but Midol, Ibuprofin, and bitching help loads. I hate being a girl because I feel like I'll constantly carry the burden of gender with me and every time I say or do something stupid (SHUT THE FUCK UP FASHO) it will be attributed to my gender. I do and say stupid things in real life. I write stupid things on Musicbanter. Its not because I'm a chick. Its because I'm dumb/lazy. Sometimes, I feel like guys don't have gender.

Guys are people and girls are girls. When I think from a sociologist's perspective, I could say the same thing about race. I sort of wish I was black because I have a weird fetish for black chicks and if I was one, I would probably just fwap to a mirror all day long but then again, I don't because carrying the burden of gender AND race with me would just me majahlay suckay. I would probably overanalyze everything ever done or said to me so much that I couldn't function in everyday life.

There's the sleeping around thing too. Even a lot of dudes who've clensed themselves of anti-women ways of thinking feel weird about girls who have had more sexual partners then them. Its just the way society works. I can't do what I want and be judged the same way. I guess I could fake it but since I analyze everything to a T, I'm not a very good liar so I usually either refrain from doing fun sexxxy stuffz or cry and shrivel up into a ball from guilt afterwards. I can't be one of those cool girls that rises above the stigma and has fun. I can't. I feel like I'm really doing something WRONG, especially if I'm really enjoying it.

The biggest thing though, I guess, is my gender getting in the way of my goals. I'm a feminist. Other feminists are nice to me (and the real ones are nice and accepting). Me having penis envy is okay. Its personal. And other girls are great at things. I like people with my gender. I'm not a woman-hating-woman by any stretch. I love girls and am jealous of tons of them. But I feel like I'm not good enough at the things I want to do to reach my goals and I feel like maybemaybeMAYBE, just maybe, if I was male, I would be better at everything. Actually, maybe if I was male, I wouldn't have to be better. I wouldn't have to prove myself so much and would get by with what I could do.

I'll just end this by saying that I don't have the answers and whats right for me isn't right for everybody. Maybe you're a dude and you'd trade with me in a heartbeat. Maybe you're a chick and you're shaking you're head thinking of how much you love your 'giney. Thats okay. But I would be so much better off if I was born a boy. I feel it in my soul. Girlhood just doesn't sit quite right with me. So thats it. I penis envy hard. I'm awaiting the inevitable STFU YOU STUPID BITCH comments. I hope this thread dies soon and you guys think I'm a badass, tattooed MALE.
